I'd forgotten how much Ashlee and I used to borrow each other's clothes/shoes when she lived at home in the UK prior to leaving for Oz.
Now that she is here, she is borrowing my stuff ALL the time. Lol...
She's said that she will treat living with us as a house share and she is certainly doing that, which is great. But...
..it feels like she reverts to being our child every so often - we are fetching and carrying like we used to. For both of them.
Neither of our children have a driver's licence.
So we are Mom's Taxi or Dad's Taxi...again.
Traevis had his medical yesterday morning so he can renew his visa. Again with the taxi - this time it was Dad cos I was dead to the world having done a few 12 hour shifts.
Last night Ashlee asked if one of us would collect her from work this afternoon. She is leaving early as she is flying out to Wellington this evening to spend time with the boyfriend.
Greg replied, "Write your request on the back of a $50 note." Oh how the two of us laughed so she never got her answer.
So this morning she asked again.
Greg and I looked at each other and go "rock paper scissors". We both pulled scissors. Lol...that's not gonna work. We never gave her an answer, the two of us giggling over the result. She walked out to catch the bus with a "let me know".
We don't begrudge them - we are happy to do it, within reason
